Google Pixel 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S26 — both series have record-low prices right now, but which is the better buy?
There’s perhaps been no better time to consider picking up a new Android device this year than right now. Both the latest Google Pixel 10 series and the new(ish) Samsung Galaxy S26 series are on sale for the lowest prices we’ve seen so far.
For example, the Google Pixel 10 is just $549 (was $799) at Amazon right now, which is a match for the previous record from Black Friday. It’s a price that makes the standard Pixel 10 just $50 more than the standard retail price of the mid-range Pixel 10a, but of course, that device also happens to be on sale for a record-low price of $449 (was $499) at the same retailer.

What device is the better buy right now?
Both ranges are fantastic across the board, but the Pixel 10 series tends to lean towards value while the Galaxy S26 series has more power under the hood. My personal choice would be the standard Google Pixel 10, but there’s no doubt the Galaxy S26 series has the edge when it comes to performance – and the baseline device also starts with 256GB storage capacity.
If you’re going for a high-end device, then it’s really hard not to recommend the absolutely stunning Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even with $200 off, it’s a pricey buy, but you get a fantastic 6.9-inch display, exceptional performance, and a surprisingly lightweight design for a smartphone of its size.
